I have to admit I'm skeptical, but this trailer seems to hit the right notes.

Man, do I agree with this. I wouldn't say that Netflix is the UX they should ape, but they need to do something. I'd also upvote "episodes should be listed in reverse chronology"; why do I have to scroll so far to get the new episode of Last Week Tonight? I watch it every week; why isn't it on the front page as soon as it's aired?

Interesting.

Good article.

“Paul Manafort didn’t understand him,” a longtime Trump confidant told me. “Trump is going to do whatever the fuck he wants. You have to trick him into doing what you want.”

Oh, just what we need. :\

Interesting analysis. I'm not sure what would happen with Apple TV in this case, since other app makers/content providers whom compete with Netflix might not want to make an app for their competitors box. In any case, it does seem that Apple's TV strategy isn't quite working, and this might make an interesting way in. They could operate Netflix as an independent subsidiary, pumping in backing capital for original content, and simply have their content in the Apple TV like the others. Netflix has a strong enough brand that Apple wouldn't want to change it anyway.

Apple Should Buy Netflix

The fact Apple’s ‘TV’ app doesn’t have Netflix shows who has the leverage; Apple should just buy in.

I was somewhat incorrect in my earlier post about the LG 4K display. There is a 5K one, but it isn't coming until December, and can't be pre-ordered on Apple.com yet, and I only saw the 4K that you can order today. That looks like a fine monitor, but I still would have preferred a matching aluminum one.

LG's latest 5K screen is Apple's new flagship display

If you're eyeballing Apple's new MacBook Pro line, but you need even more screen real estate than 15 inches of Retina display -- LG has already got you covered. Taking the place of Apple's own, discontinued Thunderbolt Display, the LG 27-inch UltraFine 5K and 21.5-inch UltraFine 4K displays are stepping up as the new go-to companions for the MacBook Pro's sharp new screen and limited port variety.

Man, they didn't get the newest Intel "Kaby Lake" processors, they have Skylake.

"The 15-inch model, with a quad-core Core i7 (all part of Intel's sixth-generation of Core i-series chips, also known as "Skylake") and 16 GB/256 GB, sells for $2,399."

Everything about these new MacBook models is different, from the design to the keyboard to the trackpad to the amazing Touch Bar.

This is a good, positive review. I think the lack of feedback on the Touch Bar is a shame, and the inclusion of the long-press is strange; it's out-of-place on the 3D Touch-enabled devices and its discoverability was always questionable.

The new MacBook Pro looks and feels so good it’s unreal

"In June of 2013, Apple executive Phil Schiller triumphantly introduced the company’s new, cylindrical Mac Pro. Aimed at professional users, it was a workhorse. More importantly, it was a bombshell, a statement that the company was investing in its high-end and creating indelible experiences. “Can’t innovate anymore, my ass,” Schiller said at the time.

"Since then, the Mac Pro has not received a single update."

Futhermucker.
